Thanks for the good wishes! She was just over 4 pounds at the time we took her home. She was there for 78 days. Actually she went home two full weeks before her “due date”!! Now she is a bit over 9 pounds. The only issue she is having is failure to thrive. She’s a slow gainer even with all the feeds and extra bottles we give her. She’s a very happy baby though. Such a joy to have in our life!

Darkknight: if you don’t mind me asking about the failure to thrive— have you had people recommend to you using a carry cloth? Of course there are a lot of things that are available to tie a baby on to yourself but I always had a simple light length of Cotton cloth which l used for five of my children. It was incredibly versatile. There was a lot of work that I had to do everywhere -inside and out of the house. And the babies did extraordinarily well in this arrangement. They have constant contact with your body and you with theirs. Forgive me if you already know about this real boon to baby’s security and your own freedom.. l just had to mention it.
